Optimize Array for "Performance"
The Promise FastBuild BIOS Utility autosetup menu allows optimizing the
array for A/V Editing . The default Performance setting (Striping) selects a
Stripe Block size of 64. This larger block size is recommended for the data
streaming requirements of A/V editing. You may select an even larger block
size in manual mode (see chapter 4).
